On Monday, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) set February 21 for a special election in the state's 4th congressional district. The seat has been vacant since Democrat Donald McEachin died late last month.
This Richmond area seat is safely Democratic; McEachin had won reelection by 65% to 35% just weeks before his death. The party will choose its nominee in a firehouse primary next Tuesday, December 20.
Until the seat is filled - and assuming no further departures - Republicans will hold a 222-212 partisan edge over Democrats from the start of the 118th Congress on January 3.
